Django-mediagenerator has been pretty helpful so far, but thing that has been bothering me is that all MEDIA_BUNDLES are defined in settings.py. I would like to be able to define media bundles inside individual application folders.
How can media bundles be separated by application, instead of all being centralized in settings.py?
The only way I've found to do this is to do it yourself. I ended up writing a small file in same folder as my settings file:
from settings import MEDIA_BUNDLES, INSTALLED_APPS
BUNDLE_NAME = 'MEDIA_BUNDLES' # Name of bundles tuple
BUNDLE_FILE = 'media' # Name of python file
for app_name in INSTALLED_APPS:
if app_name.startswith('apps'):
try:
path = '{app}.{media}'.format(app=app_name, media=BUNDLE_FILE)
app = __import__(path, None, None, [BUNDLE_NAME])
bundles = getattr(app, BUNDLE_NAME)
MEDIA_BUNDLES = MEDIA_BUNDLES + bundles
except Exception, e:
print e
